I'm attempting to use pyinstaller with pandas. I wrote a very simple module:
installtest.py:
import pandas
print 'Hello!'
and then did:
pyinstaller .\installtest.py
Next I edited installtest.spec as explained in this other question, deleted the build and dist directories, and ran pyinstaller again on the edited spec:
pyinstaller .\installtest.spec
I then attempt to run the resulting exe like this:
.\dist\installtest\installtest.exe
However, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "installtest.py", line 1, in <module>
import pandas
File "c:\users\admini~1\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-kuazog\pyinstaller\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", lin

File "site-packages\pandas\__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
ImportError: C extension: hashtable not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to r
un 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace' to build the C extensions first.
Failed to execute script installtest
It is apparently looking at site-packages\pandas__init__.py instead of anything in the dist folder. Perhaps that is part of the issue? I checked the dist folder, and it has the following pandas related files:
pandas._sparse.pyd
pandas._testing.pyd
pandas.algos.pyd
pandas.hashtable.pyd
pandas.index.pyd
pandas.json.pyd
pandas.lib.pyd
pandas.msgpack._packer.pyd
pandas.msgpack._unpacker.pyd
pandas.parser.pyd
pandas.tslib.pyd
Here is some system info:
Python 2.7.11 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.
pandas version 0.17.0
pyinstaller version 3.2
Using Windows server 2012 R2 and Powershell
My question: how can I get this example working?
